September 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Sedo sales chart for 09/19/2009 reveals the sales of Jets.com for $375,000 and PinkDiamond.com for $7,999. Jets.com would be a monster product domain but may more than likely be used for a travel site or even the New York Jets football team.
Update 09/22/2009 – Domain Name Wire is reporting that a private company Concord Private Jets has bought Jets.com stating “We sell a high end product, and people are sending us a lot of money. They need to trust the people they’re dealing with.”
Now they own the best possible product domain for their company at a really cheap price.

Bud Light Grooler
September 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Over the past weekend during football games Bud Light introduced a new infomercial parody for the Grooler and other crazy inventions. They were prominently displaying the domain Tailgate Approved to purchase the products advertised. Unfortunately Bud Light did not acquire the generic product domain Grooler.com from the aftermarket beforehand, however it’s coincidentally currently up for auction on Sedo with a current bid price of $375 (reserve met). Hopefully the Bud Light marketing team is bidding.

5 Reasons Why Product Domains Matter
September 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment
1. Targeted Traffic: Type-in traffic is one the best reasons to own a product domain, the traffic is essentially free and very targeted. Users typing in a product domain into their address bar already knows what they want and are ready to buy – they just need the means to do so.
2. Marketing: What’s easier to remember and to market TinasCuteBabyRattles.com or BabyRattles.com?
3. Trust: Similar to marketing, trust amongst customers is hard to achieve with a name nobody recognizes – buying baby rattles from BabyRattles.com conveys trust and makes sense to a consumer.
4. Beat the competition: If you don’t own the generic domain for your product somebody else will – they will then be seen as the authority in the space. Product domains are just like real estate there is only one.
5. ROI: Money. All the above equates to more money in your pocket.
